This is part of an approach to business Nestlé calls ‘Creating Shared Value’, which aims to create value for the company’s shareholders at the same time as for those communities where it operates.

Investing in the Philippines

In recent years Nestlé has invested more than CHF 360 million (16 billion Philippine Pesos) in the Philippines to expand existing factories and boost production capabilities.

“We have been committed to the Philippines for over 100 years,” said John Miller, Nestlé Philippines Chairman and CEO. “During this time we have made many investments. We continue to expand our existing operations as well as building exciting new facilities like the Tanauan factory.”
